地主: landlord. The Japanese noun '地主 (じぬし)' refers to a 'landlord', specifically someone who owns land or property and rents it out to others. This term is often used in the context of real estate or agriculture, where the landlord may lease land to farmers or tenants. For example: The landlord owns many fields「地主は多くの畑を持っている」(じぬしはおおくのはたけをもっている). The tenant pays rent to the landlord「借り手は地主に家賃を払う」(かりてはじぬしにやちんをはらう). This term can also carry historical or cultural connotations, as land ownership has been a significant aspect of Japanese society.
